HOS Extension- Elogs

Jan 31, 2022 at 08:33 PM CST + 4 - 1

Do we still have to run log books? 2. My truck is newer. Do I need to run elogs? 3. Do I need to keep track of anything else if I don’t need to run log books? That should be all my questions but I would appreciate all feed back.

I don't use it, but my understanding is that toy still have to use an ELOG but in PC MODE listed as ag exemption and then list what you're hauling.... i think it's also going to be listed on your bills as "livestock feed"..... grains, corns, that stuff that's used for animal feed. Pet food doesn't count. Maybe im wrong, who knows. Im sure I'll get corrected as always. But i rarely run it that way. ✌✌

If your ELD don't have it I would suggest looking into a different ELD. It is more than "just run in pc mode". There is a podcast on here that will help a lot more than I can.

It seems silly to me to spend money on a new ELD specifically for the AG exemption when the FMCSA and the podcast you reference indicate that it is perfectly acceptable to run in PC when you are using the agricultural exemption and simply notate it .
